The regulations you describe for LA sound quite similar to those for Connecticut.According to Statute 31-48d of the CT Department of Labor's laws & regulations (accessed 2020), "Employers engaged in electronic monitoring [are] required to give prior notice to employees."[1]I agree with your sentiment that this level of monitoring seems reasonable:While at work, employees using the tools & technology provided by the employer to perform their jobs should be monitored to deter unacceptable behaviors.

Subsection (3) of the same Statute states,

"Electronic monitoring" means the collection of information on an employer's premises concerning employees' activities or communications by any means other than direct observation, including the use of a computer, telephone, wire, radio, camera, electromagnetic, photoelectronic or photo-optical systems,but not including the collection of information.[1]

Given the ever-increasing importance of technology, our data -- from any & all of our activities -- have becomeextremelyvaluable.
